Back to 1979: Sending the Educated Youth’s Wife Back to the City

Chapter 121 Entrance Banquet

Fang Mingfeng followed Fang Mingche to set up the stall and took the bus there.

There were not many tourists at noon. Even if there were, there was ready-made tea drying on the cart stand. Song Quan helped to sell it. It was okay for Fang Mingche to go away and have lunch.

Fang Mingfeng said: "Now my stingy boss has become much more generous. One-fifth of the driver's car can be used to transport personal goods. After all, he is really risking his life now. If everything goes well, the income is really not low. But he is really risking his life! This money can't be earned for a long time."

Fang Mingche asked, "What about your brother-in-law?"

"He, he left a long time ago. He even said that he would come back to join me after I made a name for myself in the capital."

Fang Mingche was also somewhat convinced by his cousin's brother-in-law. As a brother-in-law, he would go out with his brother-in-law to have sex, but he never came back to tell his sister. In the final analysis, it was because he could eat meat with his brother-in-law.

But if anything happens, we can't rely on this guy.

"Now that I'm in the capital, I plan to observe for a while and find a safer livelihood. It shouldn't be like your slums where they ask for letters of introduction, right?"

"No. If the inspection was really that strict, how could I have stayed here with Yanyan for several months? Your accent has a bit of Cantonese accent. Just show it openly. Let people guess whether you are from Guangdong or Hong Kong. Anyway, if you show it openly, no one wearing a red armband will come to cause trouble."

Even if those people have the mission of catching vagrants, they mainly target those who will affect the city's appearance. As long as you don't sleep on the street or under the overpass at night, it is still relatively safe.

That night, Mrs. Cui gave Lin Yan a bicycle ticket.

She was familiar with the black market and charged an additional five dollars as a handling fee. After all, going to the black market required getting up early in the morning and avoiding people, which was risky.

Lin Yan gave her 55 yuan directly. If I go by myself, I won't be as familiar with the network as Sister Cui. People may not be willing to take out more valuable bills. I'm worried that the police are stinging me!

Lin Yan said: "You can buy it tomorrow and give it to Brother Mingfeng for you to use first."

Fang Mingfeng nodded. It would be much more convenient to go out with a bicycle.

The next morning, he went to the mall with Lin Yan and Yan Yan to buy a bicycle. After trying it out, he found it very easy to ride, so he rode along the central axis.

Fang Mingche told him that this route was very interesting. He also bought a map of the capital and followed it. He carried a military water bottle to replenish water during the journey. It was lunchtime, so he could find a place nearby to eat. He looked around these two days and found that there were many places to eat in the capital.

There were both state-owned and private enterprises. Anyway, as long as I had food stamps and money, everything was easy. It was not like my hometown, where I had money and food stamps but nowhere to spend them.

There are still no street vendors in my hometown! The spring breeze of reform has not yet blown.

It doesn't matter if he gets lost. He can always find his way back to Tiananmen Square by asking for directions. This way, Lin Yan and Yan Yan won't have to accompany him anymore.

Fang Mingfeng's telegram arrived at his hometown two days later. Fang Tong was still very angry. She had already told all her friends that she was going to the capital to see Tiananmen Square, and she had even packed a small bag.

As a result, when I woke up from a nap that day, my father was gone.

Fang Jian was actually happy to hear about this. He grinned and said to Fang Fang privately: "We haven't been to Second Uncle's place yet. Why would she, a member of the Eighth Route Army, go there?"

There's no way, Fang Kang knows nothing. When I tell him about the capital, he asks "Is it delicious?" He can only tell his sister.

Fang Fang said: "Her family is rich, so she can go whenever she wants. And even if she goes, she won't be relying on Second Uncle for food and accommodation."

If they go like this, they will definitely rely on their second uncle for everything from travel expenses to food and accommodation.

Fang Jian said, "He is our second uncle. Family members should help each other. If our father had not given the opportunity to study to our second uncle, how could he have gone to the capital and been admitted to Beijing Normal University?"

Fang Fang lowered her head and rolled her eyes implicitly. She really didn't agree with her father's idea of saving face.

Dad made it seem like he and my second uncle were admitted to the school together and he gave the opportunity to my second uncle. It was obviously because he didn't study hard and had to go home to do farm work.

Grandpa had no choice but to choose my second uncle to continue training him. Grandpa was determined to train a stable job for the second generation.

As for the third generation, the goal was raised on this basis, to get into university. I guess with my second uncle being admitted to Beijing Normal University, this requirement was raised again.

If possible, Dad would not give the opportunity to his second uncle. She also wants to read more books!

She talked about this with her mother in private, and Yuan Shufen could only sigh, "Your father said that he only wants you to finish the second grade of elementary school and be able to read. Your brother and your younger brother have to spend a lot of money on their education."

It is really hard for a person who works hard to support three students. In this case, the choice between a son and a daughter is definitely to sacrifice the daughter. Since they are all sons, let's talk about their academic performance.

Fang Fang said unconvincedly: "Even if they are not as good as me in studying?"

Yuan Shufen looked embarrassed, and then said, "You should work hard. If you have good grades, go back and beg your second uncle, and he should pay for your tuition. Mom also hopes that you can escape from the farm. Study more like your second aunt, so that you can be valued by your in-laws in the future and have a better life."

Fang Fang nodded. She must have good grades.

"I'm so envious of Yanyan!"

"It will be the same when she has a brother. After all, the son is the one who inherits the household registration book."

Yuan Shufen paused and continued, "So, you must be very, very good to Yanyan and her future brothers. Be really good to her. Otherwise, why would you ask your second uncle and second aunt for help?"

Fang Fang nodded, "Mom, I will."

She was kind to Yanyan, and Yanyan reciprocated. Over time, she began to treat Yanyan as her own sister.

On the other hand, no matter how good the elder brother and younger brothers were to them, it seemed as if it was their due. They never gave her any response.

After Fang Mingfeng rode away with his bicycle, Lin Yan took Yanyan to buy school supplies. After buying them, Yanyan couldn't wait to go to Dashilan and show them to her father one by one.

Fang Mingche looked at the crayons, pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, etc. that she excitedly took out of her backpack, "So poor students have more stationery?"

Yanyan said unhappily: "I am not a bad student! My father and mother are both college students, and I will be a college student in the future too."

The little girl has a strong sense of honor.

"Then you should cherish all these stationery. Dad is in the third grade and he has nothing but pencils."

Yanyan nodded, "Yeah."

"But college students can't inherit. You have to take the exam yourself! Just because your parents are college students doesn't mean you are a college student automatically."

Yanyan puffed out her chest and said, "I will try my best."

Fang Mingche looked at the 2:1 shrunk military backpack and couldn't help but say to Lin Yan, "You are really too skillful."

Yanyan smiled and said, "Sister Niuniu was so happy when she received it."

Lin Yan said, "Later, someone told me that military items cannot be modified like this. But, there is no way to restore it. It shouldn't be a big deal if it's just for kids to use. If it breaks, can't we just let people fix it? It's all modification, but this is a bigger modification."

In a blink of an eye, it was the third Sunday of August, which was the day that Lin's father had decided to hold a graduation party for his daughter and son-in-law.

Lin Yan's college admission letter finally arrived two days ago.

She wanted to be very happy, but when she thought about it, Ming Che and Teacher Gao were not that happy, so she just watched and enjoyed herself.

The family of three also took a photo with the two admission letters. Yanyan held one in each hand while being held by her father.

Nowadays, people like to bring all the valuables in their home when taking photos. The most valuable things in their family are these two admission letters.

Lin Yan suggested taking the photo, so Fang Mingche followed suit.

I heard that Mr. Gao and Xiao Xie also went to take the photo. They also brought Gao's mother along. Maybe she was in a good mood because of the good things that happened. She was in good spirits that day. Well, she borrowed the wheelchair that Gu Zhiguang had used before to push the person there.

On the day when his father-in-law held a graduation banquet, Fang Mingche did not open the tea stall. Now that he has a vegetable business and a waste business, the tea stall is no longer the only source of income.

Besides, it won’t last for a few days.

Father Lin looked beaming today. He only greeted a few relatives and closest families, and was not too ostentatious.

There are two college students in the family, and the son-in-law was admitted to a prestigious university. This is really a great honor!

The factory manager met him on the road a few days ago and asked him about this matter. This shows the quality of the university that his son-in-law was admitted to.

Lin Yi was an eyesore when he saw this. "It's not like a few months ago when he came to the capital carrying Yan Yan on his back. Do you think he has a mental problem?"

His attitude has changed so much. He is almost like Fan Jin's father-in-law, Hu the Butcher!

"You know what? Your brother-in-law must have had a plan in mind before he dared to quit his official job. Don't be dissatisfied! If your girlfriend Han Mei is admitted to university and is willing to marry you, I will tighten my belt and give her all she wants. Even if I have to let her brother take over my job, it's fine."

Lin Yi said: "If she can get into college, will she still like me?"

He and Han Mei had not been in touch for a long time because his family refused to agree to Han's conditions. Han Mei rejected his invitations again and again. He didn't even know if they were still a couple.

"You know that you are the last resort for others to choose you. Then why don't you try to save face and go to university to see for yourself?"

Mother Lin said, "She is a high school student, and your sister is only a junior high school student. Your sister was able to get into a junior college, so she won't talk about a bachelor's degree, but she can get into a junior college and see if she can."

Lin Yi said in a very low voice: "Look how swollen you two are."

Lin's mother heard it, and she said, "Of course, I am proud that I raised a daughter who is a college student. I am even prouder that I married a son-in-law who is a college student from a prestigious university. How are you worse than your sister? Why can't you get into college? Otherwise, you should also prepare for college entrance examination. Sell this job later and I will keep the money. I will use it for your wedding gift in the future. When you go to college, you can find a college student partner. If you can get into college, I will be so happy!"

"How can it be that easy? Zhu Qiming is a freshman in high school and he took the exam three times and is still far from the passing score."

When Father Lin heard Zhu Qiming's name, he said, "I don't know if your uncle and his family will come today. Who cares? I've invited them anyway. It's their business whether they come or not. If they don't come, we can choose not to go if they have something to do in the future."

He also disliked dealing with his brother-in-law's family. They only knew how to take advantage and gain benefits.

Thinking of this, he said to Lin Yi: "Don't become like your uncle, who only knows how to take advantage of your sisters. I look down on such people!"

Mother Lin was embarrassed to hear this, but she had nothing to refute. Because, her brother was just that kind of person. He didn't give her face at all!
She estimated that their family would not come today. After all, her nephew failed the exam three times, and his plan to go there to earn a salary that day was dashed again.

However, her sister and her family should come. Thinking of this, Lin's mother felt very comfortable. Her sister has always been sweet-mouthed and arranged better work than her. She even became a small leader. She has always been arrogant.

However, ever since her daughter and her husband stood up for her, her sister's attitude has completely changed.

She never mentioned how good the guy she introduced to Yan was. She just said it was a good thing that it didn't work out, otherwise it would be a loss for her college-age niece. Being able to get into college now is like a carp leaping over the dragon gate!
Alas, if, if Lin Yi could also work hard and get into college, she would really have nothing else to ask for. At that time, would she still need to worry about Lin Yi finding a partner?
At about half past nine, Lin Yan drove Yan Yan and Fang Mingche drove his cousin over. It was a treat for them, so they had to arrive early.

Fortunately, my father-in-law was open-minded and didn't plan to hold a wedding banquet at home. That would have been really crowded! There were only two rooms of 28 square meters. And it would have been very tiring, especially for the women.

When Father Lin saw them, he smiled happily and said, "Old lady, Mingche and the others are here."

This was the first time in Fang Mingche's life that he had received such courtesy. His father-in-law personally carried a stool and poured water for him. He was really flattered for a moment.

"Dad, this is my cousin Fang Mingfeng. He came to the capital specially to visit us."

"Mingfeng, right? Come and sit down." Father Lin was smiling and handed over a cigarette.

Fang Mingfeng brought a gift, "Uncle, aunt, I should have come to pay my respects to you two a long time ago. I heard Mingche and Xiaolin said they would come today, so I delayed it until today to come together."

Mother Lin said, "His cousin, you are too polite."

Lin Yi also came out, called out "sister", "brother-in-law", and then called out "brother Mingfeng". Then he took Yanyan out to play.

"Where did you get this little military backpack? Does your family know anyone who's in the military?"

Yanyan said: "The bag was given to me by Uncle Wang, and my mother changed it into two small ones. Sister Niuniu and I will each have one, and we will go to school together when the time comes."

After a while, Yanyan came back with a lollipop in her mouth. She also opened her backpack to show her mother that there were hawthorn biscuits and fruit leather inside.

Lin Yan looked at Lin Yi. Did he break up with Han Mei? So he spent the money on his niece? It seemed that it was better not to get this person.

Lin Yan asked Lin's mother about this directly.

"I don't know if you're bragging, but I didn't go out to play these past two Sundays. I'm also hoping that they won't succeed. They're so greedy! They're not even college students, yet they dare to ask for so much from me. But don't mention this for a while. When it's mentioned, Lin Yi will put on a dead face. That useless look is really an eye-opener."

Later, my cousin, my uncle, and Xiao Gang's family of three arrived first. Father Lin clearly said that he would not accept gifts, so they did not bring anything. Usually, when we have something to do, we do not accept gifts when we visit each other.

The uncle said to Fang Mingche and Lin Yan, "Congratulations! Being admitted to university is a great thing right now. You will definitely be assigned a good job in the future."

The two thanked him with a smile.

My uncle asked, "So your business will be closed after school starts?"

"The tea stall business is over and it can't be continued."

"It's a pity, but after all, going to college is the right thing to do. Otherwise, no matter how much money you make, it will be in vain."

Fang Mingche knew it. His uncle was just like his father in his heart. He believed that all other things were inferior except for education. He still thought that the job assigned to him after he graduated from university was the right path.

The cousin said, "Xiao Gang, you will graduate soon. Go back and ask your cousin and brother-in-law for advice. Ask them how they got into college."

Xiao Gang also admired Fang Mingche. He knew that his cousin-in-law took care of the children, set up a stall, and reviewed at the same time. In the end, he was admitted to Beijing Normal University!

Fang Mingche had a very good impression of his cousin's family. Just because they had sent food coupons to Ayan, he had to remember this favor. Moreover, his uncle later helped to make connections, which allowed him to earn more than a thousand yuan.

So he said, "Nowadays, there is a great shortage of people who can learn English. If you have a talent for learning languages, you can focus your energy on this. For opening up to the outside world, you definitely need to know foreign languages. English is the universal language! We officially established diplomatic relations with the United States on New Year's Day this year, and with the United Kingdom before that. To learn from foreigners and defeat them, you also need to know their languages. The older generation of revolutionaries who went abroad to work and study also knew foreign languages. Even Chairman Mao, who never went abroad to study, found time to learn some English during the Long March and after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

Xiao Gang said: "We don't have English classes in high school because we don't have enough teachers."

Today, the first batch of people who were admitted to the English Department have not graduated yet.

At first, the foreign language that Chinese people learned was Russian, but that stopped in the 1960s. So nowadays, English talents are indeed scarce.

“That’s why we say there’s a lack of English talents!”

Fang Mingche shared with Xiao Gang how he learned English.

"If I didn't have good English grades, I definitely wouldn't be able to get into Beijing Normal University. I just barely made it! I only got here because I was transferred to the English Department."

He remembered that it was in 1985 that the relevant teaching talents were available, and middle schools dared to offer English courses nationwide. After that, the importance of English has become more and more important year by year! It is always right to be ahead of the curve!

Xiao Gang nodded, thinking that what his cousin's husband said made sense. There would definitely be a great need for people to learn English in the future, and there happened to be a vacancy now.

He has a radio. His cousin's husband also asked him to get some English newspapers and magazines and other review materials. So he just needs to buy an English dictionary first.

Fang Mingche said, "I guess it will be easier to subscribe to these materials after I enter the English Department of Beijing Normal University. If you need them, I will order an extra copy for you."

"Ok."

Both of Xiao's parents were workers, so the Xiao family had saved some money. It was definitely not a waste to use it on reviewing.

"But we still have to work hard on other subjects and get the total score on the line."

As they were talking, Lin Yan's aunt and her family also arrived.

My aunt's children were all arranged to work in the factory. Even if they were temporary workers at first, they would definitely be regular employees if they had connections and there were vacancies in two years. My aunt is really good at handling things and building relationships.

Therefore, the children of my aunt don't think highly of Lin Yi. He can only take over the business and let my aunt retire early.

However, my aunt's family looked down on Lin Yi, but now they look at Lin Yan with a new respect.

The aunt held Lin Yan's hand and said, "Our Yan is really amazing! Not only did she get into college, but she also got a son-in-law who is from a prestigious university."

Lin Yan got goosebumps all over her body. From childhood to adulthood, when had her aunt ever been so affectionate to her?
She still remembered that when she was tricked by her aunt into going on a blind date, she just got up and left. Later, her aunt looked at her fierce and ferocious appearance. Uncle Wei and his family, who were good friends with Lin's father, also came. At the beginning, Lin's father was planning to arrange for Fang Mingche to rent a bed in his house.

Mother Lin and Father Lin discussed, "Then this big round table should be arranged."

"That would require food from two tables to be picked up."

Don't think about saving money on this matter.

As they were talking, Lin Yan's uncle, aunt and cousin Zhu Qiming also arrived.

Father Lin whispered, "Then let's have two square tables."

I don't know why my brother-in-law is so nice and polite today. But since he's here, I can't treat him badly, even if he's just here for a meal.

Lin Yan's uncle is Zhu Jiahui. As soon as he came and greeted her, he said, "I think they are really short-sighted. Now the best future is to get into college. Nephew-in-law, don't you agree?"

Fang Mingche nodded, "Uncle is right."

It was almost time for dinner, so everyone went to the nearby state-owned restaurant.

Zhu Jiahui said to Lin's mother, "Sister, if our Zhu family produces a college student, our parents will be very happy if they know about it."

Mother Lin smiled and said, "That's right. But whether you can get into university or not depends on yourself. Look at Lin Yi, he is very self-aware and knows that he won't be able to get in!"

As soon as her brother opened his mouth, she knew what he wanted to say. He wanted Lin Yan and Ming Che to tutor Qiming for the college entrance exam. Is it guaranteed that he will get into college after tutoring?

If he passes the exam after much tutoring, it is the result of his own hard work; if he fails, it is very likely that the tutor’s fault is ineffective.

Moreover, she now has no control over her daughter and son-in-law. Lin Yan has not listened to her since she went to the countryside. Now they are college students and earn much more money than she does. If she dares to make random arrangements, they will not come to her house for a long time.

"Sister, what are you talking about?"

"To be honest. If I can pass the exam with tutoring, I will force Lin Yi to work for his sister and brother-in-law. In exchange for their guidance when they are free."

Zhu Qiming knew that she was not disparaging her nephew. It was because he was never satisfied with what he ate and was not good at anything he did!
If Qiming sends them to Ayan, doesn't that mean Ayan will have to wash even the socks? Mingche will never agree to that!
When Qiming went to high school, he had to raise money because his scores were not high enough. The money was raised by his eldest and second aunts. But since he went to high school with the money from his two aunts, he looked down on Lin Yi who did not go to high school.

Lin Yi repeatedly mentioned this matter in front of her, and Lin's mother was not indifferent. The main reason was that Lin Yi's grades were even worse at that time, and she knew that it would be useless to send him there.

But later my brother insisted on sending me the money, claiming it was a loan, and he still hasn't paid it back yet. I've already finished my senior year of high school! The next year, I'll be in my fifth year of high school.

However, it was time for dinner, and Lin's mother didn't want to tear her face apart. It would be best to just let it go today. Her brother was really a badass, so she just kept it to herself for fear that he would overturn the table.

So he said, "Let's go have lunch first, and then we'll talk."

She walked ahead, together with Lin Yan and her daughter.

My aunt came over and asked, "Old Three, what are you doing?"

"What? I want Qiming to follow Ayan and Xiaofang and let them tutor him. Let him take a restudy class and try."

"I heard that students in college need to live on campus."

"They have a little girl, so we can't just ignore her. Are you planning to give her to Big Sister to take care of?"

The aunt shook her head, "I don't know. But it's possible. However, my eldest sister is no longer the eldest sister she used to be! After all, when people have their own small families, they will definitely take care of their own small families first. Don't mention it when we're having dinner. Wait until we come back after dinner."

She wanted to have a good meal in peace. She didn't want her friends to ask for something during the meal and then be rejected. This would make it difficult for everyone to eat and drink freely.

But today she didn't bring any gifts, she came here for free food and drinks. Her elder sister and her husband were always frugal, so how could it be easy to give them a good meal? So she brought her husband and children with her.

They don't need to take the college entrance exam, and they can't pass it. They just go to work in the factory honestly.

However, her nephew chose to take the college entrance examination for the fourth time. She thought it was a good thing. Otherwise, her brother's wife would definitely come to bother her every day, so she arranged a job for her nephew.

How can it be so easy to arrange a job nowadays? I have put so much effort into raising my two children. Especially my nephew, who is really not good at anything.

Fang Mingfeng had been watching coldly. After seeing so much now, he couldn't help but sigh: Every family has its own problems! Fortunately, my sister-in-law rarely goes back to her parents' home! The key is that Mingche will definitely not be controlled by her mother-in-law.

Just as the group was walking towards the state-owned hotel, Han Mei also arrived.

"Lin Yi, I'm here to congratulate my sister and brother-in-law."

Lin Yi was overjoyed. "Let's go, let's go eat first."

Han Mei greeted Lin's father, mother, Lin Yan and Fang Mingche openly, "Uncle, aunt, sister, brother-in-law——"

In this situation, Lin's father, Lin Yan and Fang Mingche could only smile.

Lin's mother said, "It's been a long time since we last met. I thought you and Lin Yi had broken up."

Han Mei didn't say anything, just followed quietly. She was going to brag about it. But didn't she hear that Lin Yi's sister and brother-in-law were admitted to college? His brother-in-law was admitted to a prestigious university. From now on, the class is different! All of a sudden, the Lin family has become much more important.

So, his parents learned through their acquaintances in the state-owned restaurant that the Lin family had booked a banquet for a graduation celebration today, and they quickly sent her over.

During this period, her parents also asked people to introduce her to a date. But although she is a high school student, she does not have a formal job. This is a big minus! Moreover, she has two younger brothers.

After searching for a long time, I found no one with better conditions than Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi is young, tall, handsome, and has a formal job!

Her parents scolded her for not being able to get into university. But is it true that everyone can get into university? Out of a hundred people who entered the examination room, less than four passed.

Lin Yi's sister was able to pass the junior high school entrance exam, which must have been thanks to her brother-in-law's tutoring. Otherwise, how could it be so easy?

Moreover, Lin Yi's sister failed the exam three times in a row. Her parents didn't allow her to repeat the exam.

We walked to the state-owned restaurant. We knew that two people in the family had been admitted to college, so we had a graduation banquet. The waiters who used to look down on others were much more polite and even said congratulations.

For the first time, everyone felt the newness of service from them.

After everyone sat down, they sat at two large square tables. The dishes were ordered in advance, for two tables. There were many hard dishes and large dishes. It was obvious that he was treating everyone sincerely. This must be the last thing Lin's father had left from his monthly salary. He was willing to spend so much money!

During the interval between serving the dishes, Qin Na, the daughter of Lin Yan's aunt, said, "Brother-in-law, you did so well in the exam. Were you confident before the exam?"

Fang Mingche shook his head, "No. If I was sure that she would be admitted to university, would I have divorced your cousin first and then remarried her, making it so complicated? It's because I was worried that she wouldn't be admitted that I let her follow the crowd and return to the city to get a Beijing residence first. It's not easy to transfer to a Beijing residence nowadays. It's only easy if there are major policies."

This was a true statement, and everyone nodded after hearing it.

Fang Mingfeng recalled that his cousin was quite efficient in selling his job. So he was actually unsure? However, he went to Beijing after making money from selling electronic watches twice, and he was still very determined.

He was beaten for this. He even suffered a lot of punishment from his uncle. Even his father didn't like him at that time, saying that he had some tricks to use against outsiders!

Now it seems that my cousin was very courageous. He was not afraid that the fake divorce would become a real divorce.

People were hungry these days. They talked a little when the dishes were served, but when they were all served, they all buried their heads and started eating.

Fang Mingche and his family of three and Fang Mingfeng were the only ones there. They ate at one century-old restaurant after another during this period. They were quite polite when they picked up their chopsticks.

Today, there are two tables for men and women. Yanyan sat at the women's table with her mother, while Fang Mingfeng and Fang Mingche sat at the men's table.

Fang Mingche saw that his father-in-law wanted to say something, but everyone was just focused on eating. He felt a little awkward holding the wine glass.

He quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Dad, I'll toast to you! Thank you for entrusting your daughter to me."

Father Lin clinked glasses with him and said, "It is a blessing for our Lin family to find a son-in-law like you. I heard some rumors before and misunderstood you. But I am very grateful that you were willing to let A Yan return to Beijing. And you immediately brought your daughter to chase you, which is worthy of her undying love for you."

The speed at which everyone ate slowed down.

The aunt even pulled Zhu Qiming's sleeves twice, telling him not to just focus on eating. His cousin's husband was talking, so he should listen. Besides, his uncle paid so much money today. He still had to show some basic respect.

Only then did Zhu Qiming put down his hands that were clamped on the big pork hoof.

Fang Mingfeng looked at his cousin. Misunderstanding, what misunderstanding?

Fang Mingche whispered, "I don't know who went back to Beijing and said that I was the one who arranged that second-rate guy."

Fang Mingfeng stared in astonishment and said immediately: "Uncle, this is absolutely not the case!" He couldn't say more.

The situation of the educated youth was very bad at that time. Many of them married local people in order to live a better life and work less.

His cousin is in his prime and has a formal job, so why would he be so mean? This needs to be made clear.

Father Lin nodded, "Yes, my son-in-law is so outstanding, why do we need to use those means? All right, everyone, eat and drink freely. We eat happily, that's to celebrate for them!"

Everyone ate to their heart's content, and by the time they left the table many of them felt particularly satisfied.

Seeing this, my uncle's family didn't rush to Fang Mingche to get the English review materials. Goodbye!
The lunch was eaten up completely, without even needing to be packed up. This also meant that I would not treat you to dinner in the evening.

Who can afford to treat me to two meals in a row nowadays? Money is not something you can just pick up by bending down.

My aunt's family also said goodbye directly at the state-owned restaurant. They came just for the food.

"Sister, brother-in-law, now our son and daughter are grown up, and our granddaughter can help with cooking. It's time to take a break and enjoy the fruits of our labor. We'll eat and then leave."

Whatever trouble my uncle might cause later on has nothing to do with them. They won't get involved!

Uncle Wei and his family also finished their meal and left.

"Ayan, Xiaofang, come and sit with us when you have time."

"Okay, Uncle Wei."

Therefore, the last ones to go back were the entire Lin family, including Han Mei, and the uncle's family of three, as well as Lin Yan's family of three and Fang Mingfeng.

There are only 28 square meters, and if there are too many people, there won't be enough space. Otherwise, why is it wise for Lin's father to choose to entertain guests outside? It's just that it costs more.

After returning and sitting down, Lin Yan poured a cup of tea for her father, her uncle, Fang Mingche, and Fang Mingfeng, "Come, everyone, drink some tea, it will help to reduce the smell of alcohol."

Han Mei also helped enthusiastically. In the past, she always acted like a distinguished guest when she came to the Lin family, and she would not do anything. But before she even entered the house, it was indeed unreasonable to order someone else's daughter around.

But Lin Yan really didn't like her in her heart. She didn't know what kind of magic potion she had given her brother.

So the men and women groups prepared to chat separately.

Uncle Zhu Jiahui said, "Ayan, elder sister, you should sit down and listen. Whose feudal rule is it that women have to stand aside? Elder sister, you are a nephew of the same surname, so you have to take care of the college entrance examination, right?"

Mother Lin said, "Yes, that's right. Qiming and I have the same last name. But I am still Lin Yi's biological mother. I can't even control Lin Yi. By the way, Xiao Han, do you want to repeat your studies?"

Han Mei said: "My parents said that the passing rate of repeaters is still so low. Let's save the money for my younger brothers to study."

Lin Yi looked over here, "Mom, you are my biological mother, right? If she gets into college, how can it be my turn?"

Mother Lin said, "You can actually try again. Otherwise, you won't be unwilling, right?"

It seems that she is destined to enter the Lin family. That will let her have some opinions about her parents, so that she won't be so sincere in caring about her parents' family in the future. Moreover, she mainly wanted to change the subject.

I hope my brothers won't make trouble for themselves. Her son-in-law is not easy to deal with! The key is that Yan will not side with them.

Mother Lin said as she stood up and took the teapot in. What if she dropped it? Wouldn't she have to pay for a new one?

Han Mei thought about it and was unwilling to accept it. But she was a little short of the mark and her chances of repeating the year were slim. Otherwise, she would definitely ask to repeat the year.

She asked Zhu Qiming, "How many points did you get?"

Zhu Qiming applied, but didn't even pass half of the exams.

Han Mei was stunned. Why repeat the year with such a low score? This was just throwing money into the water.

Fang Mingche said, "Uncle, in this case, you'd better not repeat the year. The gap is too big! Even if the admission rate is gradually increased, it's still less than 6%. If the total score is less than half, there's no hope for repeating the year."

This year is the first year of unified national examination questions, and a total of 468 million candidates entered the examination room. In the end, 28 were admitted!

Zhu Jiahui said: "Then why don't you give him guidance and counseling?"

Fang Mingche said: "I can't turn stone into gold."

"you"

Lin Yi laughed in a muffled voice. His brother-in-law was just short of saying that a rotten tree cannot be carved!
Zhu Jiahui glanced at him, "What are you making strange noises about here? My eldest nephew's son-in-law, why don't you give it a try? You should tutor him well. If he fails the exam, your uncle will never blame you."

Fang Mingche saw that even after talking to this point, the family still refused to give up.

He simply said, "I haven't learned about the cost of one-on-one tutoring for Beijing Normal University students. Let's talk about it later."

My aunt immediately asked, "What, you still want to charge money?"

"Strange, why don't I charge money? My last name is Fang, his last name is Zhu. Even in ancient times, people still gave private school teachers gifts. Do you know what gifts mean? Dried bacon! I can earn so much money in the same amount of time, why not charge? I tutored someone in English and directly charged 400 yuan. By the way, speaking of this, uncle and aunt, when are you going to pay back the money you owe my parents-in-law? We agreed to borrow it at the beginning, but it's not right to borrow without paying it back. With your reputation in money, I won't accept students. Pay off the money you owe first, and then we can talk about other things!"

Lin Yi nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, pay back the money first!"

Zhu Jiahui turned to look at his sister and brother-in-law.

Mother Lin spread her hands and said, "I'm retired now. I don't have a say in family matters anymore. As you can see, my family is in need of money."

Judging from the situation, the betrothal gift will be given soon. Although it won't be as much as three turns and one ring, it still needs to be given.

If my brother and sister-in-law can really pay back the money, I will feel more confident at home.

Father Lin even closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep. His brother-in-law is a scoundrel! He just bullies him for his dignity.

"Big sister, Second Sister never asked me to pay back the money. You are all surnamed Zhu. You paid for the Zhu family to train college students. Isn't this your share?"

My aunt also said, "That's right, we agreed to give it to you. Qiming, let's go home!"

The family of three ran away in a flash.

When we reached the gate of the compound, my uncle spat and said, "You only have money in your eyes. Are you obsessed with money?"

Fang Mingche's face darkened, "Do you believe that I will let you swallow it back?"

As he said this, he pretended to walk out.

"You dare--" This time, my uncle ran even faster, followed by his wife and children.

I just ate a lot at noon, so it was a bit uncomfortable to run.

Fang Mingche picked up the broom at the door and handed it to Lin Yi, "Go clean the front door. Don't leave it there and disgust people!"

"Okay, okay." Lin Yi was obedient this time and went out immediately with a broom.
